Brian Terry family sues officials over Fast and Furious

PHOENIX — The family of a slain Border Patrol agent has sued federal officials over the botched "Fast and Furious" gun operation.

Agent Brian Terry was mortally wounded on Dec. 14, 2010, in a firefight north of the Arizona-Mexico border between border agents and five men who had sneaked into the country to rob marijuana smugglers.

Two assault rifles acquired by a straw buyer for the gun smuggling ring targeted in the "Fast and Furious" operation were found in the aftermath of the shootout near Nogales.

Federal authorities conducting "Fast and Furious" have faced tough criticism for allowing suspected straw gun buyers for the ring to walk away from gun shops in Arizona with weapons, rather than arrest them and seize weapons.

The investigation was launched in 2009 to catch trafficking kingpins, but agents lost track of about 1,400 of the more than 2,000 weapons involved.

Jack...as well as our 4 dead Benghazi men.Have we ever seen the likes of a President being protectd by the media like this ? And to think that Eric Holder may be Obama's pick to run in 2016.I'm guessing, to keep evil from being discovered by a new crop of people.Not that there is a whole lot to be worried about from any of the other Dems.I hope if this is true, and Hillary wants to run, that she and Bill come out in full force against Obama and helpreveal the real truth on Obama as payback after they helped the Marxist get re-elected.

I hope they win a big lawsuit even though it won't bring back Brian Terry. Then I hope the witch doctor puts a curse on Holder, DOJ, and ATF slime involved in arming Mexican cartels. The 300 dead Mexicans are calling out for JUSTICE.too.
